The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[TR0N]

I'm currently playing these games

I'd say wild guns remaster seems more difficult compare to the snes original.

[NecroPhile]

Yesterday I snagged a copy of Gal*Gun: Double Peace (of ass).

Is it any good?

I'll let you know after I get a 'real' Vita and can actually play it. 

[Bloufo]

A few things,


Nice carry case for the NES Classic,













Neo X stick.

"Why?", I hear you say. :p
I can always use it on the PS3.

$10, from a local guy.










oXbox lot for $30,








I'm going to offload all of those, except for this guy,











"Just an NES?", you might say.








Well, yeah, but we don't often run into this variant over in this neck of the woods,








That's not true RGB, by the way. 
Composite-like visuals. But that's ok. The system will still get its fair share of use.








The box is beat up, but the console itself is in good shape.












Asian PAL 32X.

[DragonmasterDan]

oXbox lot for $30,

Nice lot,
I'm not sure how uncommon the European version is, but Outlook Coast to Coast is one of the most sought after US OG Xbox games.

Foiled again. I heard the game was bad, but I've not played it myself. Maybe if it gets really cheap.

And yeah that Xbox lot is nice. Many good games there.

He got the NTSC version

Killer Haul.  Half Life is amazing and I am still waiting for the latest version.  Doom is also quite good and I feel an over achievement for the Original Xbox.  Excellent Haul

[munchiaz]

Got these records recently. Can't listen to them til later this week, as the record player is packed for my move

[TheClash603]

Mondo has some really nice releases.  Their Gremlins release from last Christmas is one of the best presentations I have ever seen.

[NecroPhile]

Cool records, munchy.  It's cool to see vinyl getting a resurgence and more peeps buying physical tunes instead of always streaming or stealing.

[Bloufo]

That's right.




Also got this with a bunch of other cables and power adapters,

Listed as "non-functional",








I opened it up, tested the fuse for continuity. Nada, squat.
(This particular fuse is 125V 5A, fast blow fuse)

So I desoldered it and replaced it with a new one. Fortunately, that's all it appears to have been.
My Duo has been powered by it for a few hours now. No issues as far as I can see.

That Shovel Knight Vinyl looks so sweet man!  I had debated grabbing on of those myself but just couldn't pull the trigger.  The artwork alone looks amazing, you could frame that!

Same for me. Of course now it's all 3rd party seller territory now. I wasn't even aware of the gremlins one. Sow ant it.

[Gypsy]

Got dick punched today. A nice package arrived, but the Japanese PS2 inside is only reading CD games, not DVD games. The sadness ohhhhh the sadness.

Already resolved the issue though and I'm getting a fat PS2 (can't believe I betrayed myself and bought a slim) Japanese system from a seller on Ebay.

If you like horror movie soundtracks and want to go a little deeper than the Carpenter and Goblin stuff everyone already has, this is a fantastic soundtrack.

Found this wireless joystick for the Turbografx yesterday at an estate sale. It's not that great of a controller, but for $2, I am not complaining.

[esteban]

Damn, Chany!

You can't go wrong for $2.

I am so curious about how that works (infrared). I've never really use an infrared controller as a "main", go-to controller (I move pads around too much)....but a stationary stick actually makes much more sense.

I am absolutely in love with Shovel Knight!!!  The music is the absolute best, when I bought my PS4 copy it came with a free ITUNES download and it's on my phone now.  What a great game!



Some common and cheap Pickups this past week.





   I already have a couple of Game Cubes but never had 1st Party Controllers, they are so much better than my shitty 3rd party units I bought from 5 Below.  I paid $20 for this total which I feel is good.



Goodwill finds, 50 Cents each.  I am glad to have Red Faction as it was in a recent Game Sack review and looked very good, I am lucky to have found it so cheap and local.



Found this guy today for $1 at a flea market sitting in a pile of junk.  Easy score.


More goodwill, never know when you'll need 4 player action on the original XBOX

[NoSexGex]

[Bloufo]

Just a loose disc and a cart,










The seller wouldn't sell one or the other separately, so I picked up both PBC's.










A few Wii U games,









And a CD32.






Advertised as having "issues reading certain discs". Tested it with a few games as well as with some unofficial CD32 ports. It plays everything fine.

What I did find on occasion though was that sometimes it would give me a kind of error message like "cannot execute file, not enough memory". Pressing the reset button though seemed to do the trick, and the game would load and play fine afterwards.

[EvilEvoIX]

Killer find!!!!   How much were they???

You may want to get replacement sticks as the tops of all of those analog sticks appear to be missing.

And a CD32.

Some of those Amiga ports to CD32 bug up due to the fact that someone hacked them to run off CD. It's likely not your system but just the port.

I got the error message even while attempting to play my original discs of Banshee, and Dragonstone.

[Gypsy]

Yeah those Cube controllers look like they have seen way better days. Yuck.

Here is a picture of the PS2 and games. System as mentioned is being returned since it only reads CD games. Games all tested out completely fine on my PC though, so I'm keeping them and waiting for another system from Japan. Getting a fat this time, since I've had better luck with those plus I have all US fats if I needed to end up replacing the lens or something like that.

[EvilEvoIX]

I'll take apart the Gamecube controllers and clean them up but after a quick use they are worlds better than the Chinese Junk I got at the discount store.

Yeah OEM GCN controllers are the way to go 100%.

taking them apart isnt going to fix the sticks.

Well I see that but I always clean used sticks to get all the gunk and grease out of them.  I've already tested then and they are fine.

I have replaced the GC sticks before with cheap aftermarket ones and they work great. I would recommend that if they are loose or notchy.

[NoSexGex]

Killer find!!!!   How much were they???

They had it priced at $120 CAN. But they have a legendary credit system, so i just traded in some junk for a straight trade lol

WOW, like 57 copies of Sewer Shark?

[Bloufo]

As others have done, I'm going to fit a Pi into the little guy on the right.

[Gypsy]

Update on CRT monitor: seller at least wasn't ignoring just me. They ignored Ebay too, so I got a full refund. Whew.

[Gypsy]

Showing my recently acquired systems some love.

[jtucci31]

Damn nice on getting Xenoblade for 3DS granted you didn't pay like $60 for it. I remember seeing dozens of them at multiple stores right after I picked up my $100 N3DS from Toys R Us, but wanting Animal Crossing first because it was cheaper. Now it's damn hard to find.

[Gypsy]

It was in trade and value at $30. I don't think that's too far off of Ebay though, last I knew. The Sun/Moon pack was valued at retail which was nice. I'm gonna play those for a bit then probably let a friend that is a big Pokenut have that set. Maybe just the outerbox and figures collectard crap lol.

Really loving Sexy Parodius it is hilarious.

[gheebee]

Got Steamworld Collection in the mail today. Wasn't sure if I'd like this one when I ordered it but wound up playing Heist for ~6 hours today, so it was a good buy. The only thing I don't like is the limited inventory, before long it's like the game is punishing you every time you beat a level by forcing you to sell things (sell things for currency you can't use because your inventory is full and practically no one is selling inventory containers...); as much as I like the game I really hate this aspect of it.

[Bloufo]

I picked up a Saturn 3D controller. This was actually a freebie. The seller couldn't find the detachable cord for it, so he just threw the controller in with some other stuff I had bought from him.












Just a poster and some strategy guides,













This was a trade for some oXbox games I had gotten a couple weeks ago.

The guy even included the receipt for when he had bought the system from Brazil, back in '08.













This thing operates on the PAL-M analog TV system. No cart slot. 130 built-in games.

It works fine but I couldn't get any of my TV's to show it in color. The visuals were all in Black & White.

So I thought to try hooking it up to an old PC CRT VGA Monitor, using a composite to VGA connection.



We now have color. Thumbs up.








BTW, The Cyber Shinobi is an awful game. 




If anyone was wondering as to the systems internal components,

Not much there. The pic below is not mine but it's the exact same system.













And, scored a mint in box PSOne LCD Combo. This was from an estate sale.

Price tag for it was R800 ZAR. That works out to a little under $60.

[Gypsy]

Well, got this other Japanese PS2 and....it won't read CD games. LOL. I'm off of importing a system now. I'll just rip my Japanese games and patch them to play on a US system.

Good news though I had a video processor arrive today that seems to be in full working order. I just need to get it a proper power supply (already ordered should arrive Saturday) and update the firmware.

[Psycho Punch]

I wouldn't accept that master system for free. That's probably the only video device left in brazil that still uses PAL-M lol.

[Gypsy]

Update: got the PS2 fully functional.

[SuperDeadite]

Wired up a minidin to a spare Famicom 3D System Adapter I had in the closet.  Not totally finished so it looks a bit ghetto, but it works.  This is for use on the X68000.  Playing Castlevania in 3D is mind-blowing with it's multiple layers of parallax.  Totally worth it if you have a real system.

[xcrement5x]

So does the 3D for the Peke also run off the composite line or whatever then?

[SuperDeadite]

So does the 3D for the Peke also run off the composite line or whatever then?

No the system has 3d support built into it.  It has a dedicated 3d sync output, hence the effect is perfect.

[esadajr]

I wouldn't accept that master system for free. That's probably the only video device left in brazil that still uses PAL-M lol.

I'd take if I got paid.

[esadajr]

I've been quite busy putting together a PC very similar to the one I had in college.



1MB Video ram
Opti 931 sound
3 gb HDD

Hours of coding in C language, playing Flight Sim 98 and Genecyst.

Nah, it's ok for what it is. I've enjoyed it a bit thus far.


If I do come across another Tectoy system, I'd pick it up if it were one of these:

[NecroPhile]

The mailman brought me copies of Aqua Kitty DX (Vita) and Dragon Slayer (Turbob).
